Casual late night reading...

Interesting story.


"Asked if he provided Coastal with any information about which properties qualify for the parish grants, Rodrigue said the amount of information was simply too vast for him to have provided his employer with any special advantage. "With the hundreds of properties I dealt with, I'd have to be Houdini to remember all of that," he said."

It's either the stupidest analogy I've ever heard...or perhaps....the most brilliant.  


I need to quiz this man on the biography of Houdini.

The Houdidi analogy was probably accurate and therefor e a terrible one - Houdini made things magically disappear.

In this case it's money.

Right....that's why I did a double take on it when I read it. He mixed metaphors but the mix was more pertinent than had he made sense.

Coastal/Kershenstine Brothers ...

How about we hoist a Red Flag on our sinking ship and do some business with Aaron Bennett and hire Aaron Broussard as our attorney ...

Arrogance does in fact breed stupidity ...

Aaron Bennett pleads guilty, to be sentenced in February.

That means that we'll probably see some interesting action between now and then. Lots of billable hours for defense attorneys citywide.

About Hingle's attorney - David Courcelle, this guy:

I am pretty sure he is a past or current Harahan assistant city attorney. He was last seen representing KAREN PARKER BROUSSARD, Aaron Broussard's wife/ex-wife/girlfriend/aide/secretary.

Courcelle himself is a pretty sketch guy, but he operates out of the office next door to the Gauthier (Houghtaling) law firm. This is a Metairie / JP sighting folks.

Funny about Courcelle. When he was in law school he started dating (while he was still married) the runner up for Miss America in 1995 or 1996. Not sure if that is Erica Schwartz Core's daughter. He got his comeuppance because she later dumped him to represent Aerosmith or some other band. Sad for his daughter he appeared around 2 or 3 at the time.

Also, be looking for someone from Coastal to be arrested in the next week or two.

Courcelle also has a private parking spot right across from the courthouse in Gretna which are reserved for VIP's.

Anon re: "Funny about Courcelle. ...": Yes, that is Erika Schwarz aka Erika Schwarz Wright, aka Erika S. Wright aka ES Wright. That is St Tammany Assessor Patricia Schwarz Core's daughter and yes together they engaged in various shananigans over that same daughter you mention above in the LA Supreme Court and various district and appeals courts in between. Erika S. Wright did NOT represent Aerosmith or any other band; no, she hooked up with and married Johnny Wright the manager for NSYNC and various other profitable teenie bopper acts. She and Wright are separated but still own property in a gated community in St Tammany (Slidell coast); it's a very simple question of determining whether that property has been developed or built on to see if the daughter of Schwarz Core is getting a sweetheart deal to this day. Erika Schwarz Wright has also assisted her mother with various debts most especially gambling debts.
